Our
world has become an increasingly complicated place. We
don't know what country will be on the news tonight and
how events there will concern us. It is important to know
the world and to know about the world before the world
comes to us. Consider how much geography the average 16
year old knows and remember they may vote in the next
presidential election.
The heart of geography, and
even the source of its name, is the map - a picture of
the world which organizes our understanding of places.
Manipulating a map, assembling it, is the best way to
learn where the different countries are and what other
countries they are near to or far way from. This forms a
lasting image and understanding. It is hard to know much
of a foreign place without knowing where it is. The map
is a framework that brings other knowledge together and
makes the world understandable.
Geography is spatial  so
why not learn it spatially? Download and play the Europe
Map Puzzle game. Put in the countries with their borders
shown on the background to learn quickly. Try it without
the national borders to test your knowledge. Learn the
capitals before you hear about them on the evening news.
Play for your fastest time or just for fun.

couch.
